    Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

    What was up with Magic Johnson talking about how Michael opened the doors for daytime and late night television? Plus he credited Michael for being the reason that people were buying jerseys and becoming fans of basketball/sports. I would think that Jackie Robinson had a bigger impact than Michael Jackson in this scenario.

    And LOL at Ron Artest's tribute to him.

      I prefer to read up on the facts before I condemn someone as a pedophile. And to me, the facts suggest that while a very strange individual, Jackson was not a pedophile.

      Although not surprising, I am just sick of seeing the "guilty until innocent" mentality becoming more and more prevalent in society. Therefore, I am trying to actually encourage people to read up and gather information before condemning someone as guilty. Just my thoughts.

        I don't think the people there valued the performers over remembering MJ. I think they only cared if the performers did MJ justice and if they sent him off right (which I felt they did).
        That was my earlier point. They could've "sent him off" right without the performances though. Hell, just having a few speakers and a film tribute, people would've thought it was still good.

          I hate Al Sharpton but he said it the best to his kids.

            That's not even close to true.

              Actually CNN already reported that over 750 million people watched his funeral nobody has the official number yet.

                    I can't believe that the news stations are still covering this 24/7 2 weeks after it happened. It's kinda getting to my nerves.

                        Don't worry. It will all be over after today or tomorrow. Then we will move on and forget like we always do.

                          1. That number is likely significantly inflated and isn't "billions"

                          2. That wouldn't make it the "biggest event in television history"

                          3. As an event, 9/11 coverage crushes anything

                              You do know that there was a funeral for him today. Or did you just choose to ignore that just to try and make a smart *** point?
